Secrets of the Job Hunt

Wednesday, October 08, 2008

MyStaffingPro has enhanced the job description screen of its recruiting software with a sidebar to display recommended jobs. The sidebar will enable job seekers and candidates to quickly preview open positions in the same category or area they're searching in. Further, candidates can select the "Apply Now" link to learn more about that position and apply for the job.

The new feature should be particularly beneficial for clients who post positions on job boards or third party sites.

"Whenever a job is posted outside of MyStaffingPro, there is a possibility that the link will be floating around cyberspace long after the position has expired," the company's Web site states. "Previously when the candidate selected the link, they would be directed to the job description page with the message, 'This position is currently not accepting applications.'

"Unfortunately, this would result in the candidate leaving your search screen without applying," the site continues. "Instead of turning away the candidate, the new side bar would present open opportunities that they might be interested in."

MyStaffingPro is a full-featured applicant tracking and recruiting software system with advanced applicant screening capabilities. The company provides professional staffing software tools designed to help companies achieve their hiring goals while saving time and money.

The company uses a hosted solution, which means companies don't need to purchase or maintain any hardware or software. MyStaffingPro's services are available to companies of any size and with any budget.
